Amaswidi emvelo ahlanganisa ikakhulukazi izigaba ezimbili: utshwala obushukela (njenge-sorbitol ne-erythritol) kanye -notshwala obungashukela (njenge-steviol glycosides kanye ne-mogrosides). Zibonakala ngamakhalori aphansi kanye nenkomba ephansi ye-glycemic, kodwa ukudla ngokweqile kufanele kusafanele kugwenywe.
Njengoba isiraphu yesitashi ivame ukusetshenziswa, indawo yayo yokuqandisa iphansi kune-sucrose, ngakho akufanele isetshenziswe ngobuningi. Ngokuvamile, kungcono ukufaka esikhundleni se-1/4 ye-sucrose. Kulokhu, i-1.5 kg yesiraphu yesitashi ingangena esikhundleni se-1 kg ye-sucrose. Uma i-sucrose ne-starch isiraphu isetshenziswa ndawonye, ukuthungwa kwe-ayisikhilimu kuzoba ngcono, futhi kunenzuzo yokuvimbela ukuwohloka kwekhwalithi ngesikhathi sokugcina nokuthutha. Ubumnandi buphinde buthinteke uhlobo noma inani lezinye izinto ezingavuthiwe. Iningi le-sorbet, i-sherbet, noma i-ayisikhilimu yesithelo equkethe ijusi yezithelo inobumnandi obunciphile ngenxa ye-acidity yabo, ngakho-ke kuyadingeka ukwengeza ama-sweeteners ngokufanele. Ngemikhiqizo equkethe i-cocoa noma ijusi elimnandi, enokunambitheka okubabayo okunamandla, kuhle ukwandisa inani le-sucrose ngo-2% kuya ku-3% uma kuqhathaniswa ne-ayisikhilimu evamile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umkhuba ubonise ukuthi ukwengeza u-0.5% kasawoti (ngokusekelwe kokuqukethwe ushukela) ku-20% yesisombululo sikashukela kukhiqiza ubumnandi obunamandla kakhulu. Okungekho{16}}okungamafutha obisi oluqinile, usawoti, ngamanani amancane, angakhuphula ubumnandi, kuyilapho amanani amakhulu ewenza buthaka. Ukuthuthukisa ukunambitheka, ukwandisa ukuhlukahluka, noma ukunciphisa izindleko, ama-sweeteners amaningi afana noju, i-saccharin, i-cyclamate, i-meringue, i-stevia, ne-aspartame isetshenziswa ngokuhlangene. Ushukela wenza cishe ingxenye yengqikithi yezinto eziqinile ezithakweni zika-ayisikhilimu, kuhlanganise ne-lactose ephuma obisini. Njengoshukela, ushukela uthinta ukungaguquguquki kwesigaba esiqhubekayo futhi, ngezinga elithile, uthonya usayizi wamakristalu eqhwa kanye nokucwebezela kwe-lactose ku-ayisikhilimu eqandisiwe.
Ngokusho kwe-Baidu Encyclopedia, okoshukela okungokwemvelo kubhekisela ezintweni ezinoshukela ezitholakala ezitshalweni noma kuma-microbial metabolites, futhi zingahlukaniswa zibe otshwala obushukela kanye{0}}nophuzo oludakayo. Utshwala obushukela buhlanganisa i-sorbitol (50%-70% ubumnandi be-sucrose) kanye ne-erythritol (60% -70% ubumnandi be-sucrose), kuyilapho uphuzo oludakayo olungewona ushukela luhlanganisa i-steviol glycosides (ubumnandi obuphindwe ka-150-300 be-sucrose) kanye ne-mogrosides (ubumnandi obuphindwe ka-240 be-sucrose).
